How Many Six Packs Does It Take lyrics

I never had a lot to bring to the party
But a self-importance far beyond vanity
And a manic depression that just wouldn`t go away
Like peckinpaw with a bouquet of poison ivy

How many six packs does it take to screw in a light
It`s good to be alive baby, sometimes it`s alright

Nothing like a little vacation once in awhile
At the cable car hotel san francisco style
For three nights and three days
Jesus hung on a boom box while it played
Every single song ever sung by billie holiday

How many six packs does it take to screw in a light
It`s good to be alive baby, sometimes it`s alright

Afterwards i`m on california street looking at the sky
The sun is going down pouring salt into my eyes
Like he said: when the light goes out so does fear
And you only see beauty as it begins to disappear

How many six packs does it take to screw in a light
It`s good to be alive baby, sometimes it`s alright
